They are post hardcore. What do you like about the album? The band split into 2 different groups after a couple albums (Sparta and the Mars Volta). Sparta is like the hardcore half and the Mars Volta are the progressive half. If you haven't listened to either check out Wiretap Scars (Sparta) and Deloused in the Comatorium (the Mars Volta)

Just relatively... I wouldn't count them as hardcore. It just feels like if you took all the hardcore bits out of At the Drive In, they would be The Mars Volta. That's why I referred to Sparta as the hardcore half.

I think Sparta is still considered post-hardcore, but definitely not just "hardcore".

Ugh...genre arguments. Haha I was being lazy and leaving out the post part...I mentioned all this was post hardcore in my original post. I think post hardcore obviously has a bunch of hardcore inspiration in it, but I know these guys are post hardcore.

They have a pretty corporate/lite post-hardcore sound for the most part. There's definitely much more aggressive post-hardcore out there. Not arguing anything, just stating my personal interpretation of their sound.
